I must say, I'm impressed with the quick turn-around. I talked to a CSR via text chat on Monday, arranged for a replacement 722k, and it arrived today, two days later. Did the stack thing with moving the cables, and the new unit was set up in less than an hour. Now I just have to drop the...

Haha, I was nice, so now let's see if they ding me the $15 on my bill. BTW, my service is bundled with my phone company (AT&T), so the first rep didn't have complete access to my account and sent my chat session to a different person. Don't know if that made any difference.

My mistake, my box is a 722, not a 622. And that is what they said they will ship to me.

I don't know how sweet I was over the chat session, but they did not ask me for my credit card # for shipping. Maybe they will add it to my monthly bill? Then I added the extra sports package for $7/month.

Right, well if it's a simple box swap-out, I can handle it myself. My question was as to if there was a local dealer where I could pick up the new box and drop off the old one. It sounds like this won't be the case. So unless I learn how and where I can get the new box locally, I'll contact...

Makes sense, but the guy that came out must work for someone local. This was over two years ago, can't remember. :confused:

My last upgrade was from a 522, and so the tech had to come out and install a Super Dish and replace the receiver. So I don't really know the procedure for a do-it-myself job. Willing to try, just don't know where to start. Dish customer service wants to ship the box, but I want to see if I...

My 622 hard drive has croaked. Dish will send me a new one for the $15 shipping fee. The fee is no big deal, but is it possible to get a replacement at a local Dish dealer? I don't see anything on their web site about this. Thanks! :usa2:

Can a customer return a defective DVR to a local dealer for replacement, or do we need to go through the shipment with $15 charge procedure? Hmm, maybe I should start my own thread with this question... :facepalm

Geeeshh.. And my family and friends wonder why I never answer the phone any more! !sadroll

When the walls fell? :eek:

You could request the Superstation Package, or just KTLA. They are currently a WB but will be part of the merged UPN-WB called CW. This is no help if you meant you're trying to get one of the big 3 networks.

Dish 322 to Toshiba D-VR3 (DVD-R/VHS) combo unit, no problems.

That's true, I doubt Comcast would provide them if they didn't have to. They generate zero revenue. The local government and public access channels here are interesting to me because they display traffic cameras in the morning and evening, and somehow I get a kick out of watching city council...

There are a lot of reasons to choose one over the other, or have parts of both. In my case, I kept the most basic basic "lifeline" cable service (about $11/mo.) when I got Dish, because I wanted to keep the local government channels on the cable that Dish can't provide. They also give me some...

Once during a warm summer day, I was working on my Polaris pool sweeper, a Mars-rover looking device with a water connection from the pump to power it, and the hose popped off and a fairly high powered stream of water shot out onto the roof, directly onto my Dish 500. My 522 was recording a...

vasoactive intestinal polypeptide...? :yikes or... very interesting pork?:hungry:

:haha That was a laugh riot!!

Boy, I hope these particular college students aren't our "best and brightest"! !sadroll

I was at a flea market in northern Calif. once, and there was a roach coach that had Mexican popsicles. One was chili flavored. I tried one, W:devil: W!! Quite interesting (cough!).

I usually click the link and give them USER NAME: bite_me. PASSWORD: g0_fvk_yerself ... or something to that effect. :neener

Man, that's one rip-roarin' rainstorm down there. Even the local weather people here in Northern California are talking about it! :eek: Saw video of a store roof collapse.

I guess everyone has a similar story. Luckily, MY psycho-seller got his account frozen by PayPal with almost enough to cover what I paid, minus about $20. Psycho-seller never responded to the dispute in the ten days, so Paypal reversed the funds to me. I was lucky, the guy had his eBay feedback...

:eek: Oh, no!! So I guess the money I wired to "zulula06" :love was part of a scam and is now long gone? :river Awww, when will I ever learn?!? !sadroll

Heh, that's what they're hoping, that we'll upgrade and then forget about it or not be able to find the link. Sorta like rebate tricks, where they make it hard to get the proper paperwork to them in time, so we just blow it off. :rolleyes:
